    I think 3 years is fair enough for an electric toothbrush that is used twice a day. That's nearly 2200 uses, and about 4p each time you've  used it.

    A plastic toothbrush lasts 3 months (90 days) and costs £2, so about 2p per use. 

    The extra cost doesn't give it more shelf life than a £30 one, just extra features. A timer is all you really need.
    You are forgetting that an electric toothbrush needs to have the brush head replaced every 3 months. Oral B £4 each at Tesco.
